2021-22 Battle for Shining Path's Cup - Semifinal time!! (3 Viewers)

[Cold Dead Hands]

@Keerock and @nittanylion get first round byes

@Henry Ford will play @rockaction 

@Cold Dead Hands will play @Corporation

With as devastated by injuries as my team was, I can't believe I was only 40 points out of the playoffs.

Oh well, good luck to those six in this year's Championship Part Deux. 

Ok, now post the match-ups this week. Slacking, boss.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Well, if my math checks out it's:

@Keerock versus @rockaction

@nittanylion versus @Cold Dead Hands

 

[rockaction]

Well, if my math checks out it's:

@Keerock versus @rockaction

@nittanylion versus @Cold Dead Hands

Huh. Already in the books with sixty-plus over three guys, but Keerock's lineup just looks...daunting?

I think you actually won, bud.

By 1.38 points. Rrrrr...

No, congrats! Best of luck in the finals.

Yeah... my math skills let me down!  120.54 - 119.16

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Well, it appears that since @Cold Dead Hands played Gesicki instead of Hooper, he lost to @nittanylion by about 2 points - 123.12 to 125.3.

Oooops.  

@rockaction  gave a good effort but  @Keerock looks to finish as the two time champ this year.

Fourth out of four equals

The top two regular season teams finish and battle it out in the finals. Good stuff, all, and thanks for letting me participate this year.

I blame my wife for that one. She had me doing a bunch of chores before the games. I forgot to check if anyone developed Covid in the few hours after I woke up. Stupid Covid

 

[Andy Dufresne]

So...a little late recognizing this but...

On the strength of Alvin Kamara's b-slapping of the Vikings, @nittanylion wins the ad-hoc playoff.

So, like the NCAA of old...WE HAVE A SPLIT CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR!!!  

Conrats, Nittany!

I forgot we had 6 teams in the playoff and assumed that Keerock had already won.  Congrats nittany!

 

[rockaction]

Congrats to Keerock and nittanylion, who had the two best teams this year!

Keerock ran away with this thing in the regular season. Good job, man.

Maybe when the vaccine is taken by a majority of the population we can get back to normalcy and adjust accordingly next year. Hope to see you all then!

Well, okay then. Herd the cats.

I made a few scoring and roster tweaks. Check them out on the FF site.

Okay, so this is who appears to be reporting for duty so far:

@facook

@Corporation

@rodg12

@Nathan R. Jessep

@higgins

@Andy Dufresne

@Keerock

@Cold Dead Hands

@Chaos Commish

@rockaction

So that leaves two spots remaining. I'm guessing a few of the following usual suspects are in, but a couple haven't been around FBG for a while (Henry Ford, for example). So we'll see what we get from these guys

@Buddy Ball 2K3

@bananafish / @Stuart_Little

@nittanylion

@Henry Ford

 

[Keerock]

I haven't read this thread. I have no clue as to your rules, entry fee, anything. I haven't played ff in, not sure, six years? But I am bored enough to do some research and play in this league. Whatever this league is. But please give all the "@s" above dibs over me. Consider me an interested alternate, please.

Andy may say different, like "There is no entry fee" but I'm the treasurer.  I'll send you my venmo.

It's a really fun redraft only league.  It is a slow message board draft, we usually finish by Week 8.  We don't like Kickers.  Andy changed the scoring rules for no apparent reason this year but I don't care enough to look at them.

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

I thought this was the year we were going to add three K/P flex spots and finally do away with those worthless quarterbacks.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Give Chaos Commish my spot.  I just can't assure you guys that i can pull the draft off with my schedule these days and I have reduced my real life leagues as well. I haven't stopped posting because of anything other than a lack of time.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

A guy wins one time and...

 

[rockaction]

I got held up at the office. Allow me to...

 

[rockaction]

By my count, I have nine that seem to be in or are in. (I'm assuming Cold Dead Hands and Chaos Commish are in.)

I see we did send out an @nittanylionfor this joint. He's largely in the Shark Pool. He's playing in the Scott Fish Bowl this year per his postings. Hopefully he has enough time to do this once again, co-champ last year and all. 

And @Henry Ford, with hopes. 

Anyway, look forward to drafting with you guys.  

 

[Chaos Commish]

I seem to be :in:

 

[facook]

@Binky The Doormat any interest?

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I seem to be :in:

Look at the crew we have already. Does it LOOK like we have any sort of vetting process?

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

Couldn’t fill the league if we had any quality control.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Well...maybe we just contract down to 10 teams and call it good.

 

[nittanylion]

Thanks for your patience, fellas. The last several years have been great. I'm juggling a lot in life right now, and struggling to manage many things optimally. Don't want to go into detail at this time. It's hard to post that I can't be involved this year... but I can't. I'm sorry it took so long, but it's hard letting go of something enjoyable. It's all I can do to manage my $$$ Leagues, I dont want to be neglectful of my fun Leagues.  It's better this way for both me and you all. Thanks again for having me for the last several years. Good League, great people...and if course, Andy. Good luck to all in 2021!

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

That was a long post to say it isn’t us, it’s you.

It's Yankee23fan's team. I take that?

[Andy Dufresne]

I will start the email draft probably on Tuesday. I think that's better than doing it here even though that's been fun in the past. It's just easier for everyone considering schedules.

 

[Chaos Commish]

Okay, here it is.

4. @Chaos Commish- Chaos Commish's team to be named later
 

I like the name just fine, thanks. Like I said, takes the pressure off.

 

[Chaos Commish]

Never done an email draft. As long as the site stays updated, I can possibly negotiate this odd way of drafting.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I like the name just fine, thanks. Like I said, takes the pressure off.

I think you should be able to edit that on the FF site.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Never done an email draft. As long as the site stays updated, I can possibly negotiate this odd way of drafting.

You just get notified via email that you're on deck/up. It's very convenient.

 

[Chaos Commish]

I think you should be able to edit that on the FF site.

Of course I can. I thought about a few names, and just liked this one. You gotta problem, commish?

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Of course I can. I thought about a few names, and just liked this one. You gotta problem, commish?

"You can call me anything you like, but my name is Veronica."

 

[Chaos Commish]

You just get notified via email that you're on deck/up. It's very convenient.

 I'm on deck, but it starts Tuesday? So I got the 2nd pick? Is there one of the fancy queue things I can use for my top 2 picks?

 

[Chaos Commish]

Oh, I have not received notification that I'm on deck. I have two emails from flea. The invite and the welcome aboard.

 

[Chaos Commish]

I'm happy. I get to be a fly in Andy's ointment all season.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

 I'm on deck, but it starts Tuesday? So I got the 2nd pick? Is there one of the fancy queue things I can use for my top 2 picks?

It starts Tuesday (or earlier if everyone gets with the program). I THINK you can pre-draft. 

You get notified WHEN you're on deck/up.
